Italy sim card for 16 days

Hi! I'll be travelling around Italy for 16 days and would like to get a sim card for my phone. I won't be making much calls (probably just to call restaurants for reservations), mostly will be using the maps for navigation and Googling. Any suggestion on which sim card I should get? I will be flying in to Milan, so would be great if you can also advise where I can buy the sim, thanks!!!

Last year I signed up for T-Mobile's international plan for $10/mo, primarily since I go to Canada a lot. And last year we used it in China for almost a month. Free text and internet and email almost worldwide. Voice calls vary a bit, but tend to be around 0.20 a minute to/from almost worldwide. Much handier than getting sim cards like on my prior trips to EU ... but have to not use voice too much.
